Pulmonary edema is a medical condition characterized by the accumulation of excess fluid in the lungs, specifically in the alveoli, which impairs gas exchange and can lead to respiratory distress. It can result from various causes, including heart failure, pneumonia, or exposure to high altitudes. Symptoms often include difficulty breathing, wheezing, and a feeling of suffocation, especially when lying down. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause and may include diuretics, oxygen therapy, and other supportive measures.
